You broke both yokes. DON'T - DON'T EVER screw the corkscrew entirely through the cork. You get floaters in the wine. Just screw it 2/3 into the cork, and then pull on it. "Squeeze the side of the HOLDER", not the corkscrew.

[@BBKing1977]

When it talks about anti clockwise, it’s meaning after you’ve removed the cork from the bottle, you go anti clockwise to remove it from the holder in your hands. 🤣😂

[@loveyourselfplease6842]

The scary looking knife is actually brilliant. I've got two immune conditions 1 attacks joints, skin, kidney's the other primarily muscles so I have joint pain & muscle weakness that often leads to my hands really hurting, going numb and difficulty working with standard cooking tools. I also have to lean a lot due to severe back pain so being able to hold a knife with a different grip would also allow me to use my elbow to balance & take pressure off my lower back.

[@ForbiddenChocolate]

Agreed! I had to get elbow pads because I kept giving myself bursitis from leaning on my elbows. (I joke about changing my name to Eileen, buh-dump-bump! 😁) That knife could make up for the leverage lost while resting on one arm.

[@kronos6948]

The albumen of the egg breaks down more slowly when the eggs are refrigerated. This makes your eggs stand more proud, and helps keep the yolk from accidentally breaking. Eggs kept on the counter will age quicker, and the albumen will get thinner, faster. Get yourself the Eggcyclopedia. You'll learn a lot.

[@Laura_Darkspear]

Barry, your dedication to the seal joke is amazing. I smile every time you do it too, it just can’t be helped. 😂

I want that knife! I bet this is truly helpful for people with hand issues and arthritis. I think also for people like me, it may help me have less accidents in the kitchen as well.

[@mrbarrylewis]

Yes I think arthritis was one of the mentions on their website, would really help some folks

[@someonedifferent198]

I allows the wrist to stay in a neutral position, where you can create the most power and put the least amount off strain on the joints. With a classic knife, one off the issues is that you have to move you pinky towards your arm, pinching the joints on that side.

[@charamia9402]

My mum have several of those knives, and when I moved out on my own (over 20 years ago) she got me a bread knife like that. I find it much easier to slice bread eavenly with that as I feel more in control of pressure and direction. Highly recommended!

[@Pythonaria]

I've got the Chef'n'Go garlic chopper. I start off with 2 cloves of garlic then when they're minced I add in another 2 or 3 as the recipe calls for. Brilliant little gadget and what I like about it is you can prepare the garlic in advance, leave it in the gadget and it won't dry out. It's easy to clean too as it comes apart but be careful of the blades they are very sharp. You can leave the blades in and it rinses out easily under the tap. To dry it I just open up the "wings" and leave it upside down on the draining board.

[@Haplo699g]

Yes eggs go in the fridge, fridges have specific sections for them. I like it because it spreads less when frying them.

Washed American eggs should be stored in their original cartons. Removing them to the egg section of the fridge exposes them to odors.

For the cork thingie... You need to screw it into the cork, pull the last bit out, and THEN (after the wine bottle is opened) you are left with the cork, jammed in... to remove it squeeze, and turn anti clockwise. I'm going to continue the video now, to see if you eventually got there :p

[@diamonddogie]

Start with utencils, spoon or may be a knife, or a bowl

[@johnhmaloney]

I love that knife. I use a wheelchair, so most counters are a bit higher to me. As a result, holding a knife in the conventional way doesn't give me much leverage. I usually hold them underhand, which is only marginally better, but a knife like that would definitely fix the problem. I'm going to have to pick one up. Thanks for making me aware of it.

HI BARRY DEBRA HERE FROM S WALES Love your work, keep it up. I am a Barathon survivor, it took me a few days off and on to go through all 50 videos, but YAY I did it!!! I am a lefthanded like your goodself and I also find some implements awkward to use. I would feel it useful if you did a video aimed at all your lefthanded viewers, with gadgets aimed for a lefthanded market. Re: blind baking, what I do with the egg white is take it as it is and brush it on the pie base and place back into the oven for a further 5 minutes just to seal it and then when you fill the base with the filling and bake it it will not go soggy as the base has a seal over it, and it will remain crispy.

7:00 The stretch expandable trivet is cool, but I'd love to see Barry test some silicone trivet mats in the future. They're probably better since they seem more stable *and* claim to have more uses, i.e. as pot holders, jar openers, garlic crushers/ pressers, spoon rest, etc.

We have that garliczoom one and use it allllll the time! We love it! It takes me so long to chop things up and using this takes me about 30 seconds - probably less actually! I also have a thin, round, floppy, small plate sized piece of rubber (stay with me now lol) that I use to open lids and it works 100% of the time! I've had it almost 16 years now and it works uh-mazing! It cost me $0 cause I got it when I helped my dad hand them out at his work booth at a local summer festival back when I was still in high-school.

There are SO many gadgets for getting the yolk out, but i don't really understand any of them. If you crack an egg, just pass the contents between the 2 halves to get the yolk. You only need to pass it like 3 times on average to get the yolk completely separated

Cold eggs is an American thing. Their eggs go bad really quick in room temperature because they remove the protective layer before seeling them.

I've had to to blind baking when i've made a cheese flan and it's always shrank way too much. Cus i haven't got a clue when it comes to cooking are the beads their to stop it shrinking or if not is there a way to stop it shrinking so much? It's stopped me making my own pastry tbh.

[@gl15col]

Gives us an update on the spoon in the wine thing; does that actually work? Back in the 1940's my mom had a glass rolling pin that she filled with cold water. It worked like a charm. And it's so easy to just break the egg in half, pour the yolk from one side to the other until the white is all drained, easy peasy. The knife looks interesting, I have Dupuytrens stricture and losing the ability to close my hands so might come in handy, thanks.

[@drbillwotb8324]

From the way the egg number one and egg number two flowed I think the first box are older than the second box. When eggs are fresh the white is thick, holds together and is attached to the yolk. As they age the white gets runnier and the yolk and white is weaker and doesn’t hold together as well. This is why you can’t poach old eggs as they do not hold together in the water.

[@kiwikatt12]

As someone who will have an accident if theres a chance to. Those can openers are a nightmare. It's a lot easier to cut yourself on the sharp top. Then the inner lip from the more traditional can opener where you can tuck the cut top in after.

A fresh egg will have a thicker white. The older they get, the thinner the white becomes, which is why when making cakes you’ll get better result with a fresh egg.

From the stand point of refrigerating eggs, there is no need to do so for food hygiene purposes but it does make them a little thicker. Personally I don't bother but nor do I need a gadget to separate them as I have hands to do the job. That knife does look like a good option though, it would almost certainly benefit me with some of the tougher veg (like celeriac. I love the stuff but it's like trying to cut through a brick!) as I've had injuries to my right arm that can make using a standard knife for that sort of job very painful.

[@WantedVisual]

I'm not sure what the crown cork bottle cap did to humanity, but it seems like people just turn 14 and start feverishly learning every possible way to open them without resorting to a bottle opener. I've seen (pool/pingpong/pub) table, teeth, keys, sunglasses, cutlery and a very, very densely folded school assignment that hadn't been done yet and was due the next day. I was the wuss with chronic pain/joint issues and the bottle opener keychain. At least, until I stopped offering and realized I could just watch (mostly) guys frantically get more desperate to get at their drink, wait until the point where they started to consider smashing the glass, and ask if I should give it a go. Then I was the cheater with the bottle opener keychain, which it turns out is a more forgivable offense.
